Description

A GtkStatusbar is usually placed along the bottom of an application's main
GtkWindow. It may provide a regular commentary of the application's status
(as is usually the case in a web browser, for example), or may be used to
simply output a message when the status changes, (when an upload is complete
in an FTP client, for example).
It may also have a resize grip (a triangular area in the lower right corner)
which can be clicked on to resize the window containing the statusbar.

Status bars in GTK+ maintain a stack of messages. The message at
the top of the each bar's stack is the one that will currently be displayed.

Any messages added to a statusbar's stack must specify a context
id that is used to uniquely identify the source of a message.
This context id can be generated by gtk_statusbar_get_context_id(), given a
message and the statusbar that it will be added to. Note that messages are
stored in a stack, and when choosing which message to display, the stack
structure is adhered to, regardless of the context identifier of a message.

One could say that a statusbar maintains one stack of messages for display
purposes, but allows multiple message producers to maintain sub-stacks of
the messages they produced (via context ids).

The message at the top of the stack can be removed using gtk_statusbar_pop().
A message can be removed from anywhere in the stack if its message_id was
recorded at the time it was added. This is done using gtk_statusbar_remove().
